Track Insight / Lyrics
In this station's hollow metal core
I'm searching, lost and looking for
A path to find my soul again
Drowned in noise, in pain, in sin
Ghosts of memories haunt the tile
Echoes of love, of life's brief trial
Forgotten dreams in endless night
Red eyes stare into the light
[Pre-
Beneath the city's skin I crawl
Through tunnels to a darker fall
A labyrinth of cold, hard stone
Where shadows writhe, alone I moan
But then I see your light aglow
Reflected off a subway platform's show
A compass in my palm, I find my way
To leave the darkness, seize the day
Through concrete canyons I begin my rise
With every step, I seize the briars from my thighs
I break the chains that bound my heart
Unravel threads of the bitter start
In the pulsing rhythm of the trains
I find my strength, my voice, my refrains
Joining the chorus of the brave
Who rise up, hearts untamed, unshaved
But then I see your light aglow
Reflected off a subway platform's show
A compass in my palm, I find my way
To leave the darkness, seize the day
Distortion wash, snare fills, bass drops low
Ethereal pads, a heavy, ominous flow
Through city veins I pulse with blood
A warrior's will, a heart of mud
Unyielding in the face of every test
I stand tall, I emerge from the mess
From lost to found, from night to dawn
I rise, untamed, my story's born
No more shadows, no more fear
Just the light that I hold dear
Tapping, sweep, pitch-shift, tremolo bar dive
Smooth legato, pinch harmonics, detune
I see your light, reflected in my hands
A compass guides, to heal the scars, to stand
Against the darkness, I face the glow
Lost no more, I'll never let it go
Pads, snare, bass, then fade to black
